It may interest you to know that all Heartland playsets meet or exceed all applicable ASTM standards. You may be asking yourself “What is ASTM?”. Formerly known as the American Society For Testing And Materials, ASTM is a global leader in the development and delivery of international consensus standards. Our wooden playsets are rounded and sanded to ensure that there are no sharp edges. Heartland playsets never have overlapping play zones, meaning swings are never hung from monkey bars, slides never lead into another play areas and so fourth. Also, the hardware on our premium wood playsets is recessed, so there are no protruding bolts that could potentially cause injury.
Here at Heartland, providing your child with a safe and fun play experience is our number one priority. That is why we choose southern yellow pine to build our playsets which is two times stronger than cedar, and gives 50% more fastener holding power! Our bigger, thicker, and stronger wood alone makes for a safer playset. In addition to this, our CAPTAINS LOFT comes with posts that are coated in plastic! This means NO twisting, NO splintering, NO maintenance of any kind! Whether you are building your playset yourself or trusting installation to one of our trained professionals, you can have the piece of mind that comes with knowing your quality materials will come together to make a durable structure, guaranteed to provide you with years of reliable performance
